Hi. 

We’re in the process of migrating a large project to Symfony, and would really like to utilize the features of the bundled Doctrine project (ORM, Schema migrations etc.)

Unfortunately, Firebird is not supported, and the Doctrine team lacks experience / use cases for it. So I’ve taken the first steps in dong the implementation myself, and created at fork at github (https://github.com/renklaf/dbal). The end goal is an implementation with full support, and merging into the Doctrine project.

At first I started with implementing the pdo_firebird driver, but now I am unsure which of the supported Firebird PHP drivers I should implement. Therefore I would like to know more about the two drivers in question before proceeding:

PS.: If there’s anyone on the mailing list that could have interest in engaging in the Firebird Doctrine project, let me know. 

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Daniel Falkner
